    Tremors on Ice & Mice on Ice
    Created by REDSHADOW1337 & Speed e cake

    Supported Gametypes:
    Cat Mouse Chase
    Tremors n' Mice

    Map Description:

    Remember that these are two separate maps and gametypes, hope you don't get confused.

    Speed e cake and myself have been busy with making other maps and other things not of interest, but we finally finished these two games and are ready to show the public. Most of you already know what Cat and Mouse are, and same with Tremor N' Mouse but I will explain anyway.

    The bare basics of both gametypes is for the "Mice" or humans to survive the whole round without dying by the Wraiths (Cats) or the Choppers (Tremors).

    We all know and love Cat N' Mouse so why not add another map the list, it may not be the biggest kid on the block but this little guy has some interesting talents that other lack. Imagine the game play like Valhalla but sort of squished together. With many bumps and hills it is very easy to take a turn the wrong way and end up beyond the turrets, where if you don't get out of there quickly you'll be spectating the rest of the round, if you know what I mean ;)

    With Tremors N' Mice, we found that with only one Tremor it is too difficult to kill all the mice, so we tweaked the gametype to support two Tremors, eliminating the loneliness. I hope you all enjoy Vorpal Saint's Hole of Horror where you ditch your mongoose and run or wait and hope not to die.

    Even though it doesn't seem like we did much to the maps remember that we blocked off things, and snowbound has enough geometry that more objects would make it too cluttered. The lack of available objects doesn't help either.

    wow a map on snowbound. This is rare. Although im not a fan of snowbound. I think that this map could be fun with a large party. Im sorry to say though it looks like you just placed a bunch of vechicles 2/5 but im giving you a 3.5/5 because its on snowbound :)

    Try making this on Avalanche and use interlocking geomerging, ramps, etc. It would be a lot more fun

    If the small part is what you were going for, this looks ok. Avalanche's size seems to be a bit more fitting.

    Or this could be the non-legendary DLC peoples map.

    Not many people are fans of snowbound and it was the last one needed to complete the cat and mouse list, but it is surely fun.
    Obviously you haven't tryed it then because the map is set up for cat and mouse and tremors n' mice it is meant for the humans/mice to get on the mongeese and drive around trying not to get killed by the tremors/cats. Please try it before rating it.
    There is already a cat and mouse on avalanche so I would not make another one on it. As I stated before snowbound was to complete the list of cat and mouse maps and it is very fun for it too.

    Makes it all the more hectic ;)

    Looks fun as it's a rare map on snowbound. Only problem I see is what if while the cat/tremor is waiting the 20 seconds to come out, a mouse takes the wraith/chopper?

    The wraiths and choppers spawn at 30 seconds in so the cat/tremors would already be out, plus they would just get booted.

    It is rather small but when i played on it, it was really fun. Any fan of cat and mouse or tremors should definately download this map.

    lol when i saw this the first thing i wanted to do was squash in innocent mouse hiding in the camo tunnel, and there is nothing more satisfying, snow bound is just so perfect for tremors (less so wraiths but still ok) thats its kind of creepy and you barely did anything to witch makes it even more scary, not saying thats a bad thing the only thing i could repremand this for is that its been done over and over again but this is different enough for me
    what to improve
    absolutely nothing
    a 4/5

    You guys keep complaining about the size, but i threw together a quick game on this and its fine. Snowbound's natural bumps and odd terrain make it fun for the mice to run away. If a mouse is going off one of the bases, they can slow down at the last second and make a quick turn, causing the Tremor to keep going straight and ultimately lose track of you. You can do similar tricks in many other spots, like the top of camo tunnel, ghost spawn and the ridge in the middle of the map. It really is alot of fun and much more frantic then the Valhalla.

    As for Cat n Mouse, I cant say anything due to the fact I didnt play it.

    awesomesauce! i was expecting another stupid avalanche temors and mice but snow bound is an awesome idea! the only thing keeping this game alive are the new maps. and this one is great. i dont really have anything bad to say.
    an idea: put some barriers infront of the auto turrets so they can go outside the boundry (idk if itll work)
    5/5 i like the tunnel pic!!!
    lol^

    Treamors would actually be quite a bit of fun on Snowbound; it has a lot of Terrain.

    CnM on the other hand, Snowbound is way to small for a wraith to be cruising around, and theres a LOT of places for the mongeese to gide that would not work on Treamors.

    4.5/5 for Treamors, and 2/5 for CnM.

    For Tremors n' Mice it's a perfect size when played with the right gametype, and for Cat 'n' Mouse this map has a lot of natural cover from the Wraiths, the Ghost spawn, the bases and the drop in the middle to the underground area that's blocked off are some good examples of natural terrain that have saved me on several occaisions, which makes the map feel slightly larger than it is. Remember, Snowbound is a bit bigger than foundry...

    Before we mayde this map I was brain storming ways to block the turrets fire but nothing I came up with or tried worked, except Bubble Shields...

    Are you talking about Cat 'n' Mouse or Tremors n' Mice here? Because the Tremors can get you anywhere, and the Wraiths may have trouble getting you if you hide under the part where the Mice spawn, but that's why we put a bunch of power cores down there ;) Anywhere the Mice go, the Wraiths can shoot them.

    I remember helping you guys test out Tremors n Mouse once. It was fun. I knew it would be worth posting and ignore everyone about the size. The size is perfect for Tremors n Mouse. I also remember playing Cat n Mouse on this map when it wasn't completely finished with a bunch of Staff Members. I enjoyed it. It is small but quite hectic and even the staff members enjoyed it too I think. And for Tremors n Mouse, the turrets aren't a huge problem because sometimes you're just fast enough to out-speed teh turrets, thus not getting killed.

    How come the video is of Speed e cake the whole time? Kinda boring, lol
